The air was thick with ash, the
smell of smoke sharp and threatening. It was October of 2007,
and once more San Diego was
faced with a devastating crisis as
wildfires tore through the county.
As we watched the news with a
growing sense of helplessness and
finally relief as the flames were
help lessen scarring and hopefully reduce the number of
additional surgeries patients must
endure. These masks provide
a particular advantage over
currently available modalities
because they are translucent,
making them much more acceptable when worn in public.
extinguished, the Las Patronas
grant team met to explore ways
in which funds from the recordbreaking success of Jewel Ball
2007 could meet an immediate
need in the community.
In November, Las Patronas
awarded a special grant to UCSD
Regional Burn center for the
purchase of a Total Contact, Inc.
system for treatment of burns to
the face, neck, and chest. The
system creates exact scans of
a patient’s facial contours to
aid in the creation of a custom
designed burn mask that might
“The clear mask crafted
through the Total Contact system is tailored for each patient’s
needs,” said Bruce Potenza, MD,
Clinical Director of the UCSD
Regional Burn Center. “The patient has a better chance of having appealing cosmetic results
with less scarring. We want our
patients to heal well.”
Prior to UCSD’s acquisition
of the Total Contact equipment,
burn patients had to be transported to Oregon for this treatment. Installation at the UCSD

That’s right, the password is FUN! Americans in the 1920s weren’t about to let a
little thing like Prohibition get in the way of
their good time, and neither will we! Their
ingenuity gave us the Speakeasy - the gin
mill where the bathtub’s not for bathing and
you have to know somebody to get in.
Dear friends, guests at the 2008 Jewel Ball are going to party
like it’s 1925, but Speakeasy won’t be like the blind pigs of the 20s.
The ladies of Las Patronas are recreating the art and architecture
of a ritzy art deco supper club under the stars at the La Jolla Beach
& Tennis Club, to give our guests a one-of-a-kind night of roaring
twenties fun.
Speakeasy wouldn’t be possible without you, our friends and supporters. All of us in Las Patronas are so grateful to our underwriters and donors, and to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club for hosting
us again in our 62nd year.
And to the 50 flappers of Las Patronas, especially my co-chairs,
Jennifer Greenfield and Tracy Lyon, thank you for sharing this year
in the jazz age with me. You dolls are the berries!
I hope to see you all on August 2nd, under the stars at Speakeasy!
Caroline Nierenberg, 2008 Jewel Ball Chair
not only current wildfire burn
victims, but will aid in the recovery of patients suffering from
burns resulting from isolated
accidents as well.
“To offer our patients the best
technology available is exciting
and rewarding,” said Leann
Cortimiglia, RN, CWS, Burn
Center nurse. “The mask allows
burn survivors to go out in
public without attracting a lot of
attention, and they have a better scar management result.”
Las Patronas is very proud to
be part of the Burn Center’s tireless work to heal and ease the
suffering of its patients.
“Funding this grant to UCSD
Regional Burn Center goes to the
core of our mission, and fulfills a
crucial need in San Diego,” said
Las Patronas President Barbara
Mulligan. “We wanted to aid
victims of the firestorm, but this
will also help San Diegans yearround for a long time to come.”

In April 2008 Las Patronas
was proud to award the San
Diego Police Foundation a grant
for the purchase of two very
special dogs for the San Diego
Police Department Canine Unit.
These dogs will be trained to
conduct narcotics and explosive
searches, apprehend suspects,
and protect both officers and
private citizens.
The SDPD Canine Unit
responds to more than 3,000
calls each year and greatly
increases the efficiency of the
San Diego Police Department,
which has one of the lowest
per capita officer staffing ratios
of any large city in the nation.
The Canine Unit is an enormous
resource multiplier for the SDPD
in terms of both effort and cost.
The dogs’ agility and size
allow them to pursue lawbreakers very effectively, and many
times their mere presence will
deter behavior that would
endanger human beings. For
example, many suspects who
won’t follow police commands
will cooperate when threatened
with a dog bite.
In some cases, the dogs are
an alternative to lethal force; in
others, the dogs prevent injury
to their human partners, even
to the point of sustaining grave
harm themselves.
The officers who work with
them recount stories of dogs
being hit, stabbed, and even
shot in the line of duty while
never giving up their determination to get the job done.
Their fearless nature makes
them an invaluable asset to the
officers with whom they serve.
San Diego police dogs are at
work protecting San Diegans
24 hours a day, seven days a
week. And since they typically work until they are about
Carl is off and running to apprehend a suspect.
8½ years old, as many as ten
dogs retire due to age or leave
service because of injury or
death each year.
The San Diego Police
Foundation is a nonprofit
organization formed in 1998
to improve the health and human services available to the
police force that “protects and
serves” the three million citi-
zens of San Diego every day.
The gift of these two young,
enthusiastic dogs may very well
save lives in San Diego, and
highlights the importance of
Las Patronas’ fundraising efforts. We are very happy to be
able to fulfill this request, and
we thank our supporters for
making it possible.

Because we don’t just paint the town red, these are just some
of the colors we’ve chosen to create Jewel Balls from the thousands available to us each year thanks to Dunn-Edwards Paints.
Each year, every drop of paint used to create the Jewel Ball is
a result of Dunn-Edwards’ great generosity toward Las Patronas.
And those little drops add up to countless gallons by the time our
guests enter the ballroom!
To thank them for bringing color to our Ball, we were thrilled
to honor Dunn-Edwards as the 2007 recipient of the Las Patronas
Spirit of Giving at our annual Beneficiary Luncheon in January.
Judi Lewis and Randy Martin, our friends at Dunn-Edwards, were
on hand to receive the award, surrounded by past Jewel Ball
Chairs dressed in paint-splattered aprons reflecting the themes
from their own Jewel Balls.
The Las Patronas Spirit of Giving salutes the strong partnerships that assist Las Patronas in fulfilling its mission to aid San
Diego’s nonprofit community. It is given to recognize that individual or organization that forms an exceptional friendship with
us and shares our mission of philanthropy.
Past recipients of the Las Patronas Spirit of Giving include the
La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, Sami Ladeki, Bowers Jewelers, and
Judi Lewis of Dunn-Edwards Paints helps 2007 Jewel Ball
Chair Kathryn Stephens pick out the perfect shade of red.
Chism Brothers Painting.
We salute Dunn-Edwards for its remarkable generosity, and for
giving us a new palette, and therefore a new theme, for the Jewel
Ball each year.

In their day, flappers caused quite a stir, celebrating their newly acquired independence with irrepressible spirit and miles of style. The hard working women of
Las Patronas, often as exuberant as those bobbed-hair women of the 1920s, show a
serious side when raising funds for San Diego County’s nonprofits.
We are motivated by those we serve. All grant applicants we visit (and we visit
them all) inspire us with their visions of a better San Diego. Every time we have to
deny a grant request, we renew our commitment to raise more to help more people.
Fortunately, we’ve been successful. Our all-volunteer group has raised and distributed more than $12 million in grants to San Diego’s nonprofits, touching the lives of
nearly everyone in the County throughout a rich 62-year history.
Obviously, we could not achieve this alone. This newsletter presents only a partial list of our many
2008 donors; we are grateful to all who have offered support. Your trust in Las Patronas resonates in
your giving, and we are very grateful for your generosity.
Our families also deserve our gratitude, allowing us the opportunity (and many, many hours) to
follow our hearts and make a difference.
Each year Las Patronas takes an amazing journey to help our community. This year flapper spirit will
come alive to benefit San Diego at Speakeasy on August 2. It’ll be the bee’s knees!
Sincere thanks for being a part of it,
Barbara Mulligan, President, Las Patronas

Las Patronas was very honored this year to be named Philanthropic Marshal of the 2007 La Jolla
Christmas Parade. With our Speakeasy boas and signs proclaiming the names of all fourteen of our
2008 Major Beneficiaries, we floated down
Girard Avenue under sunny December
skies in a sublime yellow 1926 Packard
Roadster Model 336 owned and driven by
Richard Greenfield, MD.
Las Patronas members and family alike
had great fun waving to friends and spectators as the Packard rolled down the road,
almost making it to the end of the route –
luckily, nothing a little push couldn’t cure!
We thank the La Jolla Town Council very
much for including us in a tradition almost
as old as the Jewel Ball.
